Looking for cheap real estate in Japan? Go hunt for stigmatised property! "Stigmatised" refers to anything from damaged property to polluted environment, criminal involvement, human issues, and even haunted places.
The Japanese term for such property is jiko bukken (事故物件, "damaged property") or shinriteki kashi bukken (心理的瑕疵物件, "property that may cause psychological harm") and can result in significant savings for a new tenant/owner (usually deductions of 15-30 per cent). Real estate agents are legally obliged to disclose any matters that might constitute a "stigma", even hauntings if the previous tenant reported such. And here's the catch: they only need to inform successive potential tenants and often rent such places short-term to their own employees to circumvent that regulation.
